Can a Snail Follow a Maze?
• Hypotheses: If you put a snail in a maze it will crawl over the sides and not go through. If the snail likes the food at the end it will go throught the maze. The snail will go through the maze. • Data Collection: Measure the time it takes for the snail to get out of the maze. Observe, record, and measure the time. • Materials: Box, construction paper, glue, food • Procedure: First make the maze and put in the food. Then watch what the snail does. • Results: The snail just climbed up over the walls of the maze. It only followed the maze for about 10 inches. • Conclusion: The snails will not follow through a maze nor follow a food trail to the end. But we only did the test two times and did the test with different snails and different mazes. The snail must like to climb because each time they climbed over the cardboard maze wall.
